Make Money With Adsense

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Guest post by Justin Vanhove

If you want to build residual income on the internet you should look into Google AdSense. The opportunities out there to make money with AdSense offer beginners the best change of building a passive stream of income from the internet. Perhaps the best part about learning to build residual income with AdSense is you can start off small by writing articles on website’s that already have prominent search engine placement due to their high page rank, inbound links, and large number of pages.

The disadvantage to this is that all of these article websites that pay members are revenue sharing systems. You get to publish articles on their website that will achieve high search engine rankings because that website is an authority. Then after you get a good understanding of this business model you learn how to build your own website in which you do not have to share revenue.

This is basically article distribution. The only difference is you are writing articles for money instead of links to your website. Websites that you can write articles on and get paid for it are referred to commonly on the web as “paid to write” websites. These types of websites make it easy to build nice looking articles with little to no HTML skills. Then those pages will be indexed by search engines, especially Google and yahoo. They deliver free traffic to your articles and when someone clicks on the ads you get paid for it.

Eventually you can upgrade to building your own website. I did this myself. I started out on Hubpages where you can write articles that get lots of page views. Those articles have Google AdSense ads on them and earn money when search engines deliver free targeted visitors to click on those ads. This is how you make money with AdSense without your own website just to get the hang of it. It wont take long to realize that this business model is quite effective in building residual income and worth learning before you take the time to learn site building.

Once you learn how how to build a search engine friendly website you can use AdSense to create multiple streams of income. The type of AdSense you use on paid article sites is called “AdSense for content“. It is for monetizing content pages hints the name. You can also place AdSense ads on RSS feeds, site search results, mobile webpages, and domains. When you have your own website built you will have all these options since you can easily create a site search engine using Google’s tools, build a RSS Feed with Feedburner, convert your pages into mobile ones, and you will of course have tons of content pages to place AdSense ads.

Once you complete this you just let your website run on autopilot. You may want to add some things that will increase the amount of residual income that you make such as an autoresponder ecourse that you either charge money for or contains affiliate links that will earn you commissions on products if you do not have your own. Both options are good money makers. Another thing you can do to increase your amount of residual income is incorporate user generated content. You do this by buying software that you can use on your site that will allow site visitors to create their own pages within your site.

Soon your site will double in pages. There is one product that stands alone in this niche. It is called Content 2.0. It is a software product offered by SiteSell for $100 a year. It easily allows site visitors to create their own content pages that will get indexed by the search engines and return significant traffic to your site. The best part is you can make money with AdSense using this product. On each user generated content page small discrete AdSense link units appear. They earn you substantial money and do not appear to be spammy due the little amount of space they take up.

Dear Occupier, pay up now – even if this debt is nothing to do with you

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

‘Fishing’ expeditions to trace defaulters cause fear and confusion, says Allison Dickinson

There was a time when you could disregard an envelope addressed to “The Occupier”, knowing it contained a mailshot offering you a fitted kitchen or home insurance. But the contents could well be a letter from a debt collection agency – wanting you to dish the dirt on your neighbours.

An increasing number of banks and other lenders are selling old debts to unscrupulous debt collection agencies who aren’t afraid of shaming you into paying up, using a technique known as fishing.

This involves sending letters to everybody in an area with a similar name to the person they are trying to trace, if they don’t know that person’s address. The letters demand money from the person with that name, regardless of whether the recipient is the person intended or not.

Cash spoke to Peter Brown, (not his real name), who recently received such a letter. “It was addressed to ‘The Occupier’, but when I opened it the letter was asking for information about me – or at least somebody with the same name as me,” he said.

“A few days later my next-door neighbour showed me an identical letter he had got in the post, asking for information about me. He was confused and didn’t understand it. He thought it had been posted to the wrong house and that it was asking for information about him.

“I did a search on the internet and saw it was from a debt collection company. I checked my credit record and there was nothing on there that corresponded to it at all. I shredded it and my neighbour threw his away.”

Beccy Boden Wilks, debt adviser with the Money Advice Trust, says: “Debt collection agencies should not discuss personal details with anyone other than the debtor. Anyone that feels they have been a victim of this practice needs to make a complaint via the company’s own internal procedures or to the OFT.”

But the practice of writing to neighbours isn’t condemned by all. A spokeswoman for the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) said it is an acceptable way to trace debtors. “In this situation, it is reasonable under the Data Protection Act for the debt collector to write to the last-known address or neighbouring addresses. But to remain compliant with the act, no personal details related to the debtor should be revealed in the letter.

“Individuals concerned that personal information has not been processed in line with the Data Protection Act can complain to the ICO.”

According to the Credit Services Association (CSA), the representative body of the UK collections industry, the majority of complaints stem from incidents of mistracing – where a consumer has been wrongly identified as owing a debt, typically because he or she shares a name with the debtor.

CSA executive director Kurt Obermaier thinks collection agencies are being unfairly blamed for the problem.

“We recognise that tracing is an issue and that access to quality data holds the key to dramatically reducing the likelihood of something going wrong,” he says. “The credit reference agencies that provide the data blame the lenders, and the lenders blame the credit reference agencies for the way in which they process the data and execute the matching process. Unfortunately, it is usually the debt collection agency using the information that ends up in the front line.”

Some debt collection agencies are using threatening tactics to chase age-old debts that they are not legally allowed to pursue in court.

There is no limit to the amount of time a collection company can ask for repayment of a debt, but they cannot enforce disputed or statute-barred debts through the courts.

Why most People Fail at Making Money from Blogs?

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

Guest post by Kaiser Mangampo

Everyone loves making money. Some people love blogging but only few of them are making money from it.

Most of the newcomers to blogging want the “magic pill”. They ask: ‘Tell me how to make money blogging’, but what they are really asking is this: ‘Tell me how to make money from blogging really fast with little to no effort put in it’. Doesn’t that sound unrealistic? But that’s the way most people think in our society.

Blogging is a steady growing process, a steady growing skill. The golden-profit era from AdSense is long gone, there is lots of competition in virtually any niche and there are hundreds of people who copy your content and get away with it; even make money from it. Face it – chances of you earning money from a blog are quite slim if you don’t want to invest your time in it.

It’s not your fault that you want instant gratification, instant profits and instant talent in writing. It’s our modern society on its finest – stimulation without any investment other than money; stimulation that comes easy and with little thought applied, these are things people seek for, these are the things that the people are taught to seek for. People were taught that it’s the way stuff works since the time when they were still lying in their cradles and wondering about the color of the ceiling!

Humans in our capitalism society are taught that you can and should receive instant stimulation right away; there is no need for long-term actions, for long-term thinking and changes. Take a look at any popular magazine. What does it offer to its readers? Of course – instant stimulation, instant pleasure – funny pictures, beautiful people, landscapes and other things that don’t require much thought.

The way it relates to blogging is simple – most of the bloggers I know aren’t willing to work hard to succeed. They’re not lazy. They just were taught from birth that they don’t need to apply much work to achieve their goals. That’s what’s sickening about our society – no one thinks ahead. But you should. That’s the way it works. You go out there, find a niche, write on it, attract readers and only then you gain considerable revenues. The time it takes for your blog to stand out may vary, don’t expect results right away, but you’ll see slow, gradual progress, which is exactly what blogging is about.

T-Mobile pushes right buttons with BlackBerry offer

Friday, May 1st, 2009

The handset of choice for business people now comes at a price that is sure to prove popular in the wider market

The fiercely addictive BlackBerry – aka the “CrackBerry” – has become the mobile of choice for those wanting to access email on the go, and has been priced at a level that has put off all but the most dedicated.

However, if you have always secretly hankered after one, but couldn’t justify the expense, T-Mobile has this week come to your aid. Since yesterday, the mobile network operator has been offering the BlackBerry Pearl for a one-off £179.99. Included in that price are all the emails you can send and receive for the next 12 months, plus unlimited internet access.

It means that, for the first time, users can join the ranks of BlackBerry owners such as Barack Obama without having to commit to an onerous monthly payment.

BlackBerrys have largely been the preserve of those who are, or whose company is, prepared to typically spend £50 a month to keep them in constant contact with their emails.

But faced with the growing threat from rivals, including the Apple iPhone, BlackBerry has decided it needs to appeal more to the mainstream consumer market.

For those of you who have seen fellow travellers maniacally punching their BlackBerrys but have been just too embarrassed to ask what they are doing, the handsets allow users access to their work or personal email (or both), almost as if they were sitting in front of their computer.

While plenty of other phones now offer email access, the BlackBerry is still considered the top handset for email access alone. Last year Orange slashed the cost of operating a BlackBerry. Now T-Mobile has gone a step further, making them affordable for most mobile users.

T-Mobile allows users to pay the one-off fee, and use the phone on a pay-as-you-go basis. After paying £179.99 for the phone, all email and internet access will be free for a year. Users will have to pay for any calls on the normal pay-as-you-go tariff – 20p per minute for the first two minutes each day then 10p/min for all other calls that day. Texts are charged at 10p.

T-Mobile says anyone could top up the phone with a small sum then simply use it to access their email for the year – without ever making a call.

At the end of the 12 months, people will have to pay another fee to retain the “free” access. This charge has not been fixed but is likely to be in the order of £100. Alternatively, at the end of the year, there’s nothing to stop you taking your BlackBerry and switching it to another deal, or rival provider.

It should be noted the phone you get is not the top-of the-range BlackBerry handset. The Pearl 8110 smartphone comes in silver, has a 2-megapixel camera, in-built GPS (so you’ll never get lost), and a 3.5mm earphone jack for listening to music on the move.

It also comes with preloaded quick-links to certain websites including Facebook, MySpace and Flick. Note, however, it does not have a full-sized Qwerty keyboard.

Crucially, it costs less than half the price of the pay-as-you-go iPhone that is offered by O2 – this, admittedly, has lots of other applications and features, but for email is arguably less effective.

Before you sign up, you should check out Orange’s rival pay-as-you-go offering. It will sell you its BlackBerry for £155, which includes £10 of calls. Again, you get unlimited email and web access; however you need to pay the mobile phone company £5 a month for continued “unlimited” access. Call charges are 15p/min on its basic Racoon tariff.

Alternatively, plenty of phone companies will provide you with a free BlackBerry if you are prepared to sign a 12- or 18-month contract from £30 a month, although these do include a calls and/or text allowance.

Also, be aware that while there are plenty of users who love their BlackBerrys, some have grown to hate them, unable to control their need to constantly see whether they have been contacted. They have not been dubbed the CrackBerry for nothing, but at least the pay-as-you-go deal gives you a chance to try them without signing an expensive contract.

Lap up free web surfing with BT’s plug-in dongle

Do you use your laptop away from home and want to access the internet on the cheap? Then you might want to consider BT’s £50 dongle.

A dongle is a small plug-in for your computer that allows laptop users to access the internet via the mobile phone network. This week BT said anyone on its broadband package, which costs £15.65 a month, can pay a one-off £50 for its dongle, then surf the web for free from almost anywhere in the UK.

In certain areas it will give internet access at speeds of up to 7.2Mb and works on the 3G network, which covers 80% of the UK.

The dongle is £50 if you are on BT broadband option 1 and 2, or £9.99 if you are on the higher download option 3 (which costs £24.46 a month). Downloads are limited to 1GB a month, equal to roughly 300 e-mails, 400 minutes of websurfing, 48 photos, or 144 songs. John Petter, managing director of BT’s consumer division, said: “You can use mobile broadband on the train, in the coffee shop or in the park for all the things you go online for – to look at emails or check the football results.”

Rival mobile phone company 3, which has traditionally offered the cheapest dongles, charges £48 plus £10 a month for 1Gb of downloads, although the purchase fee is waived if you sign an 18-month contract.

New BT customers also have to sign an 18-month contract but pay nothing to use the dongle, thereby saving £120 a year.

The BT dongle, however, only works with Windows operating systems – a version for Apple Mac users is on the way. Meanwhile, BT Total Broadband customers already have free access to the BT FON network, 150,000 BT Openzone Wi-Fi hotspots across the UK and Ireland. Customers will also soon benefit from BT’s takeover of Wi-Fi hotspots at more than 650 Starbucks cafes in the UK and Ireland.

How To Make Money By Blog Commenting

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Guest post by Abdulrehman Agha

While many of you will be surprised after reading this, but there are many people who are making money by blog commenting. If you want to learn how to make money by blog commenting, then please read forward. Well the basic logic behind it is: Webmasters and Bloggers pay people for commenting on blogs to get them traffic and/or backlinks. You must be knowing about the dofollow commenting craze. Well getting a few of those dofollow comments to people would actually pay you off.

A better way of making money by blog commenting would be to break it up into smaller tasks and doing the work systematically. Basically we need to do three things:
1) Make up a big list of dofollow blogs (at least 100)
2) Find your market
3) Create smooth functionality and Make Money

Make up a big list of dofollow blogs

First of all you need to gather as many dofollow blogs as possible. You can check the list of dofollow blogs and get almost all of the dofollow blogs out there. To avoid problems in the future you can check out the blogs to see if there are any blogs which are not supporting do-follow anymore so that you don’t waste time at a later time and modify it the way you want. Now save them and make sure they are accessible to you whenever you want.

Find you Market

I will usually recommend Digitalpoint or Sitepoint for this purpose, although any webmaster forum would work well. It is advisable to keep your eyes open for customers on at least 10-15 forums because diversifying will increase your target customers. Next, you can also send general emails to webmasters whom you think might be interested in your service, this will usually get you some positive replies for people interested in your services.

Create smooth functionality and Make Money

One thing that will be quite clear is that you will not make a lot of money with individual comments and hence you’ll need to make your work very smooth in order to make some real money by commenting. That is, you’ll sell comments in multiples of 5 and 10 like 10, 15, 20. You might fix your rates on something like this:

-$6 per 5 dofollow comments.
-Get 5 free do-follow comments if order is more than 50 comments.
-Get 15 free comment if order is more than 100 comments.

That deal is fair enough and you can easily attract quite a lot of webmasters. Usually one comment should not take longer than 3 minutes to write, so let’s have a break-down of potential earnings considering we get an order of about 50 comments a day:

-Money earned -> $6×10 = $60.
-Time taken -> 3×50 = 2 hours 30 minutes.
-Pay rate -> $24 per hour.

Not bad eh? Also note that comments can be written in less than 2 minutes and your orders will only increase with time hence making you even more money. The potential is in front of you, and it can be adapted to make some easy money which does not involve too much time. But, you will never make any money is your primary commenting service contains even a small part of spam, be human and your service will become more commendable and you will get more orders! More articles on this topic will be posted in the future, so stick around.

Setting up a Profitable E-Business Effectively to Make Money Online

The Internet is a good place to start a profitable business. Many people want to participate into the available online business opportunities so that they can build up their own Internet business and make a great deal of money online from time to time just like those successfully e-entrepreneurs.

However When it comes to setting up an online business, there is always concern about how much it costs to start the business, what are the tools required and what are the things that you must set up to make sure the business will run smoothly when it is live.

Basically starting an online business involves these steps:

1) Find and Research Your Niche Market
This is the very first step of set up a business online. You have to decide what to sell on the Internet. It can be a product, a service or a digital product (e-books, video, audio, software tools, etc). You can develop you own product or choose to sell other people products (affiliate marketing) or get the right wholesalers that can supply you the product constantly.

And then you got to do research to determine if there is a niche market or demand on what you intend to sell. You are not going to sell something that no one wants to buy. And then there is also market competitions you have to analyze. These are the things you must do to make sure you are starting a money making business.

2) Getting all the Tools you Need
A standard online business often has a website, a shopping cart, an auto-responder system and an auto-order processing system. Setting up each of these things takes time and work. Even though there are web designers you can hire to help you out on these technical stuff, but you do need to learn about them so that you are familiar with the process. When there is a small change need to be made, you can do it yourself.

3) Website Optimization
You are not going to make money online if your website doesn’t convert traffic into leads or sales. So website optimization is very important. This is another area you have to learn.

Your website has to be optimize well – this will include changing the design, writing attention-grabbing title with good color and text formatting, placing image and graphic on the right locations, putting a form on the site to invite visitors to join your newsletter, adding video presentation and etc. Doing all these is necessary to improve your website conversion rate.

And then there is also search engine optimization (SEO) you have to take care of. The visitors from search engines like Google and Yahoo are often potential buyers. So, you definitely don’t want to miss these targeted search engine traffic. You should make sure your website is optimized with the right keywords. This is called on-page optimization; it is the first part of SEO. It has to be done correctly to ensure you will get targeted traffic once you have also put in hard work on the second part of SEO which is off-page optimization.

These are the necessary steps to take in order to start a profitable business on the Internet. If you are new on the online business industry, setting up an online business with these steps could be difficult and confusing. There are load of free info that can help you, but you might find it too much to learn.

Download music and keep it legal

Friday, April 24th, 2009

As the operators of Pirate Bay face year-long jail sentences, Jessica Bown looks at lawful ways to download cheaply

The music industry claimed a victory earlier this month when four men behind file-sharing site Pirate Bay were sentenced to a year in jail and ordered to pay £2.5m in damages for helping internet users to download music, films and computer games without paying for them.

But as much as 95% of the music downloaded online is still done illegally.­ Matt Philips of the BPI, which represents the music industry in the UK, says: “Sales through licensed legitimate­ platforms are growing, but unlawful downloading still accounts for 95% of online purchases.

“As the legal market has grown, illegal downloading has increased too.”

The Pirate Bay website is used by 25 million people around the world – including millions of Britons. It argues that it does not break the law because no copyright content is hosted on its servers; instead, it hosts “torrent” links to TV, film and music files held on users’ computers.

It plans to continue to operate from computers around the world and the four men involved are also planning to appeal against the judgment that they have breached copyright law in Sweden,­ which is less strict than in the UK.

However record companies, which claim that illegal file-sharing has cost them billions of pounds in lost revenue, argue that new music will suffer if people continue to download without paying.

“Some £200m a year is invested by the music industry, the recording industry specifically, in new bands,” Philips says. “Artists need that financial support.”


How do I download music from the internet?

To get started, you will need a computer with plenty of hard disk space, a sound card and a connection to the internet.

To register and buy songs you will have to give the site your credit card details, so it is important to buy from an established and secure provider. Otherwise, you could be overcharged or have your card details stolen.

The services on offer also vary so it is worth browsing a few sites before signing up.

Sites such as iTunes and 7digital allow you to buy songs individually, without having to subscribe to a service but others, such as Napster, ask you to sign up and pay a set fee per month. It also operates a pre-payment system.

You may need to download software. With Napster, for example, you will need Microsoft Media Player – it comes with most recent PCs and is downloadable for free from Microsoft.


What are the legal alternatives?

Apple’s iTunes Music Store, launched in April 2003, sells single tracks for 79p, while albums start at £7.90.

Napster offers new users a free seven-day trial, after which you can choose from Napster Light, which also charges 79p a track, Napster Unlimited at £9.95 a month and Napster To Go for £14.95 a month.

The To Go service is more expensive because it allows users to download an unlimited amount of music on to a compatible MP3 player.

The Unlimited service only lets you download to up to three different computers.­

You do not have to break the law to find cheaper music online, though.

Amazon recently cut the price of many of its top-selling music downloads, such as Lady GaGa’s Poker Face, Lily Allen’s The Fear and The Prodigy’s Omen, to 29p, while albums start from as little as £3.

Other sites worth looking at include 7digital, where singles start at 50p and albums cost from £5, Playlouder, which offers music news and feature content as well as downloads, and the websites of music store groups such as HMV and Virgin.

These sell CDs as well as downloads and HMV is currently offering a range of albums for £2.99 with free delivery.

But beware: content from some of the sites is only compatible with certain MP3 players, so check this first before buying if you plan to listen to your music this way.


What about streaming?

If you are more interested in listening to music online than buying it, you can choose to stream it.

Streaming audio is sound that you listen to “live” over the internet, but which is not downloaded to your hard drive – often for copyright reasons. So, you can listen to the music while you are online, but you cannot download and keep it.

Some sites, such as deezer.com, stream tracks for free, while others charge you a small amount (such as 1p per track) to listen.

Many radio stations also stream their shows over the internet.

Where Does Making Money Online Lead Us?

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

Guest post by Michelle Meine

Once in their lives, everyone gets fed up by their regular job. Millions of reasons can cause that — from not being satisfied with the salary or with colleagues to some simple reasons like not feeling good about getting up early in the morning. It really depends on the person. Regular jobs are good because they guarantee you a regular, steady salary at the end of the month. Therefore, it provides certain security that you will be able to pay the bills. However, all the stress that you go through can sometimes lead to many health problems and many other things.

On the other hand, there is working and making money online. The best thing about working from home is that you are actually your own boss! You get up whenever you want, you do whatever you want. It’s not like you have to do something that day — if you think you can manage to do it tomorrow, then you’ll do it tomorrow. You can take a day off anytime, without the need to go and beg your superiors. Of course, if you’re good with time management, you can create more free time — by outsourcing your work. You don’t have to write 5 articles per day — you can pay someone to do that job for you for a small fee. Of course, that isn’t recommended in the very beginnings until you start earning more money, but you’ll soon get there.

A woman from Ohio, who is working full time from home on the internet, when asked what she thinks is the main advantage of working from home, she replied: “I get to spend time with my kids!” And that’s really true. Family people, if they’re working from 9 to 5 (and especially if they have a second job) barely see their kids, and miss them a lot.

So, if we look at this from a objective perspective, where does making money online lead us? It leads us to being independent, being our own bosses, being able to spend more effective time with our kids and relatives, being able to do things you normally couldn’t do because of the lack of time and many more things. If you’re already in the online business, you know what I’m talking about. If you aren’t, be sure to learn how to earn money online and start your online journey right away.
